We now have the situation in which Max has slightly outperformed TJ, but not nearly enough to make him the obvious choice. Orgeron has been very good about adding praise for Finley every time he’s asked about Max. I hope Finley stays and competes, because I liked what I saw of him.

Tj has a cannon for an arm. I'm sure it looked great in practice vs max. What practice didn't bring out was that competitive edge ,the IT factor. Max proved during a full game he was the better survivor . Ran for his life, read the entire field in a split second and made good decisions, ball control- not losing the game >> winning the game. The Burrow affect

Max is our best QB. I don’t care who a bunch of the rant thinks is the most deserving or whatever. He’a our guy 100%.

We might have been able to beat them who knows. But this upcoming season , we’re gonna kick their arse in Tiger stadium. The only game on the schedule I don’t see as a win as of now is obviously Alabama. It’s NY6 bowl or bust.

Clark and Chassion was right Ed needed to get his head out of that young stuff and handle his business Slick Nick did .

You team is 80 percent African American and you endorse Trump for President on Fox .

Derek needs a azz whipping if he is his Lieutenant you don’t let that slip . Let’s get down and dirty you won’t to talk about it let’s talk about it .

I think everyone knows why Finley started over Max. They just don’t want to say it.




yep. Considering the climate, it was a necessity and I’m absolutely OK with that.

That said, don’t get me started on Jarret Lee

So dumb, he DID NOT endorse trump. Trump said ED O did a great Job. ED O, in return, said Trump was doing a great job. It’s respectful.

ED is more likely than not a Dem. him and Edwards are Tight. It’s amazing, with all the support he has shown to the dem edwards, he gets no credit for. However, he returned a respectful comment to trump and he’s racist. Doesn’t care about minorities. Freaking crazy.

MJ should have started every game after MB went down.

The cream will rise to the top. Let them compete for the job. If Max is better, he will start. You have to give Brennan the chance to win that job back. He’s been loyal to the program and you owe him that respect. If Brennan isn’t the starter after the spring, he’ll probably go somewhere else to play his last year and we’d have a true freshman as our only other option.

That’s disingenuous. Of course he strongly alluded to race.

I honestly think he’d be great somewhere in the big12 like Oklahoma State.

Are you saying blacks are supposed to vote as a bloc? Not able to think independently?

Besides your statement being wrong, you appear to think black people have to fit in some category or they aren't black.

Yeah, Clark and Chassion (your spelling, not mine) never made some sort of comment about Ogeron's personal life. Perhaps you were just confused?

Nahhh, you were just blatantly making shite up I see.

Sure. Would you like to use facts in this "talk", or just continue with lies and innuendo?

Yep. No one believed in Max until the UF game. This board was 90% behind TJ, except hindsight seems to have changed a lot of minds.

Typical rant BS.

lol yeah and now the whole rant has turned against Finley and don’t even consider him a factor. While max is suddenly the next Joe burrow after two games. One in which we won by a shoe toss and a 60 yard bomb fg and another were he went 27 of 55 throwing 10 yard in routes all game against a defense that may have been worse then ours.

Eta: and also yes I realize max is the better runner but we act like he’s Lamar Jackson or something. Max has taken more sacks than TJ in 3 less starts and one of better parts of TJs game is his ability to make subtle moves in pocket and avoiding sacks. If I remember correctly in that AM game our line couldn’t block a high school team that night and the only reason that game was close was because Jimbo was trying to run the score with Kellen Mond who couldn’t throw a rock in water if he was standing on a boat in the middle of the ocean that night.

I have no idea what ANYBODY on staff saw in practice that justified Max not starting

Because Finley has a better arm? Every time Johnson came in he looked super timid and all they called were runs for him.

I give Johnson full credit for his late starts and wins, but, the o-line finally came to play too.

I’m not writing off anyone and hope they both stay and continue to battle.
